Eligibility
One hundred percent eligibility continuity
Eligibility remains unchanged.
Everyone who was eligible for services before the transition remains eligible now—including descendants who already qualified for care.
A new chapter in community care.
White Earth Nation now manages healthcare services at White Earth and Naytahwaush. This transition follows planning that began in 2016 and builds on at least 20 years of White Earth experience managing health and behavioral health services under Tribal governance. The change is in who manages the clinics—not in who can receive care.
White Earth is working to retain current providers while adding staff and strengthening care teams. With decisions made closer to home, clinic leadership can respond more directly to community needs.
What stays steady. What grows stronger.
The transition keeps the foundations of care steady while building more local capacity.
